| Reverse description | Nike, the winged goddess of Victory, striding energetically to the right across the reverse field, her large spread wings prominently detailed. She extends her right arm forward to present a laurel wreath, while her left hand carries a long palm branch over her shoulder, both attributes emblematic of military triumph. The regnal date formula appears in the field: the Egyptian year-symbol 'L' (rho-like lunate character) to the left and the Greek numeral Β (year 2) to the right, dating the coin to the second regnal year. The figure is rendered with flowing drapery and strong relief typical of Alexandrian mint workmanship. |
